Cold Enough For You?

"Cold enough for you?" That's the question Minnesotans greet each other with.

Are You Ready for Winter?

I'm not. I'm in complete denial that it's coming this year. I know the east coast has already had a huge snowstorm but over here in Minnesota it's 58 degrees, sunny and not a bit of snow.

It Must Be Winter

My body has finally admitted that it is indeed winter. I have been coasting through the season so far wearing jeans and t-shirts and subsisting on salads and light meals. I had been able to rise early and stay up late with no effect. As of last week I have been bundled up in at least three layers of clothing that is neither stylish nor
